Log of Peace - My Aesthetic Journey to The Peak of Mt. Olympus

If you have to 'treat' yourself to pasta you're in the wrong log :X

Just polished off half a box of after eights. My excuse: no one else was gonna eat them.

It's only as lenient as you make it. I don't eat a box of chocolates every day. In general the "worst" things i eat are bread, cheese, milk, white rice and rarely cereal. I do exaggerate to make people mad

For example last week the only things that spring to mind were a few pints one night, couple of glasses of coke on saturday and a shop bought sandwich/crisps on friday (which was still brown bread chicken + salad i might add).

It's just day to day i make up a fair number of calories from things that aren't seen as being totally "ideal" in some peoples eyes, namely the above foods.

As it stands the past couple of weeks i'd dropped the nuts from my diet for some reason and as a result my weight has held steady, so time to add those bad boys back in.

But bro.. cornflakes are hilarious

Alcohol is less common now. Just limit it to when i go out although i don't really feel like i'm being limited by that. And then i'm not a binge drinker anyway so all is well.

Hey.

Leg Press 80kg 8 120kg 8 140kg 8 8 8
SLDL 60kg 8 8 8 - Not bad, bit tight above left glute
Split Squat 15kg 10 10 10
Leg Extension 50kg 12 12 12

Dips BW 8 +20kg 8 +40kg 7! +30kg 8 +20kg 8 BW 10 - Lol! Asked a guy to film the 40, told him i was expecting 2-3 reps. Mind blown.
Rope pulldown 50kg 10 10 10
bar pushdown 57kg 10 10 10

Holy ****ing tricep pump! Legs were shot too.

Vertical video syndrome even though i handed my phone to him horizontal

And he started by taking a pic so missed the first rep.

Skillmister · 29 Jan 2013 at 14:02

Makes sense!

Skillmister · 31 Jan 2013 at 12:38

My goal in life is to pull a PB to 1:33 of that song. FUARK. One day.

Shoulder day

DB Press 32.5kg 8 6 30kg 8
Plate machine press 20kg 8 8 8 - Felt like a change
DB Shrug 40kg 12 10 10
Face pulls 63?kg 8 6 6
Side/front cable 14kg 10 10 10

Took my rings but no time today

Maybe tomorrow.

Skillmister · 31 Jan 2013 at 12:44

Cable machine weights are like measuring string using light seconds. If i use the 'other' machine i only need like 40kg :x Doing them using a bar too if that makes a difference.

Skillmister · 31 Jan 2013 at 13:26

I don't find that weight massively heavy, certainly not straining to complete it and my torso stays rigid. It's slightly harder than the weight i used training with wolls and stoodle which was ~30kg. Same with tricep extensions etc, i can use 50kg+ here where at my old gym i maxed out at 25.

Skillmister · 1 Feb 2013 at 13:31

Sup. <5 hours sleep last night. Apparently that's the key to a good workout!

Skillmister · 4 Feb 2013 at 13:24

The heavier DBs really took it out of me today, especially as i didn't have much energy as it was. Contemplating going back to training later in the day

Skillmister · 6 Feb 2013 at 16:57

Just had time for some quick curls and i was done :cool:

I've also had a twitching muscle around my left scap for over 24 hours now. It's getting tedious :eek:

Going to have to be even more aggressive with the ball, is such a thing even possible?

Skillmister · 9 Feb 2013 at 16:40
